Then when we used binaculars and it looked like a light white circle surrounded by a bright white circle. I took a picture and when I zoomed in on the picture taken, it clearly shows 2 circles side by side surrounded by light.

On August 8th, around 17:30MT, I glanced up towards the tops of our popular trees and noticed, what I thought to be a small white ball of spider web hanging from the trees, suspended by the strong breeze, until I realized it was not moving, as it should have been, since the trees were. I could not determine what it was I was looking at-it was simply a very small white dot against the bright blue, sunlit sky. I brought out binoculars and thru them could tell that this mystery dot was an object much farther away than the tops of the trees. But even through binoculars it was still just an odd white circle. I then brought out my 8-inch telescope and for the first time in my life a “mystery object” stayed exactly where it was while I sighted in on it instead of disappearing to let me ponder what I’d seen. When I popped in my 40mm eyepiece, I was shocked at the view. It was like nothing I’d seen before. The object looked like the protective grille of a fan, with highly reflective, or independently lit spines, radiating outward in an arc. Inside the fan grille shape was what looked like a bowl tipped sideways. Protruding from where one end of the bowl met the grille, there appeared to be antennae of some sort. As I watched I became aware that this object was slowly rotating, placing the antennae away from me so I could not see it, and then bringing it back into my view. As it rotated, it also presented me a view that brightly reflected an “S” shape within the grille. It also started to slowly move across my field of view in the eyepiece but I was easily able to follow it. I called my aunt in Boise, who lives near the foothills on the northeast side of town, and asked her to try to spot this thing, and she was able to immediately, but there were a few thin clouds over her area, clouds that were extremely low on the horizon for me as I faced northeast, watching this object continue to rotate and pick up a small amount of forward speed. It was still visible, though growing smaller and appeared to slow its rotation when I quit watching… Thankfully I’d snapped several fairly detailed pictures with my cell phone and then with a digital camera, by holding both, individually, up to the eyepiece of my telescope. I even took a few video clips that are of decent quality. I was so excited to see this object that as soon as I had sighted in on it and realized it was not something common, I called your hotline and made a brief report while the sighting was occurring. Last night, my aunt and I tried to identify what we might have seen, trying to debunk our own sighting, but we could not. The closest thing we could compare this odd object to was a Loon Balloon, but both of us agree that was not what we had seen. Our object was stationary for quite a long time overhead when I first noticed it, but rotating very slowly and the appendage that appeared to be antennae was solidly affixed so that it was able to be suspended horizontally as the rotation continued, and did not hang from below. When it began to move it was following a fixed path in the sky, It appeared to be controlled in some intelligent way, until it reached an area northeast of Boise then it began to shift more to the north. What is also of extreme interest is that the pictures my aunt took with her phone depict more than one object-or this same object was able to change its shape-not something I had been aware of but I had taken my eyes off it several times... But I will let her share that part of the story within her own report.

I found an object in circle shape in my photos taken in phone 6s during the sunrise this morning. I see the object moved from right to left, initially, and moved away towards right side, according to my photos order. I am emailing the pictures to ufocntr@nwlink.com from ((address deleted))@gmail.com. Hope this information is useful. Thanks! Lens flares, caused by pointing a camera toward the Sun. PD

This even took place August 6, 2016, at around 9:30 PM, just before dusk turned into night in Boise, Idaho. It was a beautiful evening, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Mars and Saturn were visible in the southwest skies, along with Jupiter in the west, just below and to the right, of the crescent moon. Vega and Arcturus were barely visible and directly above of us. Right in the middle of those two stars was what I thought was Venus. My wife was nearby and I showed her what I thought was a cool looking planet. That’s how bright this circle in the dusk sky was and it looked like it was reflecting back the Suns light just like Venus does. She told me, “Go get your phone and use your Sky app and see if it’s Venus for sure.” I observed this for about 10-15 minutes and the object was STATIONARY the entire time and it appeared to be in outer space and not in our atmosphere. I went inside and got my phone and when I came back outside and looked up the object was gone! Naturally! So in any event, I still fired up my Google Sky app pointed it up where the object was and that’s when I found out that Venus was on the horizon in the western sky and I just couldn’t see it because the tree tops were obstructing the view. I’m VERY certain this wasn’t an unusually bright star that only appeared in the sky for about 20 minutes. If this was a satellite, then it was as big or bigger than the ISS (which I have seen dozens of times flying overhead west to east) and it had some form of exotic propulsion system, or maybe the solar arrays changed location and were no longer reflecting back the light, rendering the object invisible, I don’t know. This being my 4th UFO sighting tripped me out big time because i! f this was some type of UFO then it was absolutely gigantic, like maybe a huge mother ship. I just hope someone else also noticed this anomaly. I have looked in the same spot for the past couple of nights around the same and the object has never reappeared.

Well before dark but after sundown a bright light appeared almost directly overhead. It was smallish and circular only a few degrees SE from directly overhead. It was the size of Jupiter, as seen at night lately. The person who pointed it out to me asked me what it was, so I grabbed a pair of binoculars and braced against the swingset and had a much better look at the anomaly. In the binoculars it was still quite small but I could see a much higher level of detail. It was perfectly circular with what appeared to be an indentation in the center and a horizontal darker patch running across the circle. I grabbed my hunting rifle to see it at a higher magnification and could see a much more detailed view. It appeared to be a plate shaped disk with two proportionately large tubular curved pieces above and below the darker horizontal line which now with the higher magnification seemed to be some type of structure running across the center indentation. I called my neighbor and he stepped out and looked at it for a while with my rifle and then he went in and got one of his own and continued looking at it. At this point, I called kivi a local tv station and told them about what I was looking at and asked if they would point a camera at it. The gentleman who took my call said he had been e-mailed about it just before I called. The three of us watched it until around an hour had passed when it started to get dimmer to the point where it was very hard to see with the naked eye. Through my scope, I continued to watch it as it got a deep shade of red which I attributed to the sun setting on it. It didn't appear to travel linearly but seemed to be going upward slowly.

I saw an unusual round/oval shaped white object moving around the sky while I was driving. Moving with ease and faster than a normal plane type aircraft.

Driving down Foxfire Ct in Murfreesboro, TN, to my house and video taping a storm rolling in. We then Stopped in front of my house to take pictures. Noticed a green ball, looked like an energy ball infront of the storm. My friend and I were able to take pictures of it at different angles, and also looked back at the video footage and it appeared in the video bouncing around in the clouds.

The other two shot off slowly into the west and then slowly disappeared as well. We stood there looking and then all of a sudden two more reappeared out of thin air in the exact south location. This time these two stayed in single formation very close to each other they looked about the size of star. As they where coming from the south these two cane to a complete stop right over our heads and then shout to the west and disappeared. I've never been a believer in UFOs but tonight definitely changed my whole outlook on what has joined us here on earth. This is no joke. My whole family saw this and we also have three videos of this sighting. Also, while this was happening all five of my families cell phones lost service shut off and then came back on. I thought about it and started questioning what I saw, so I called our local airport and they where closed its a very small airport just for our little town so when they are closed it says on the recording there is no incoming or out going air craft so this was no normal aircraft we saw. This was 100 % a UFO.

My son and I saw a star sized object moving from north to northwest at a pace similar to seeing a satellite, but the object was not as high in the sky as a satellite would be. The object approached the area of the sky that contained Orion's Belt, then stopped and became extremely bright and seemed to increase size by many times. The light was bright for several seconds and then gradually faded off and the object began to move northwest again. After about 10 seconds the craft lost most of its light and started heading north until we could no longer see it.

Centereach, NY
At 10:35 PM eastern time in Centereach, NY, 11720, on the 2nd Day of August, 2016, I saw not one, but two, UFO's. I was in total denial about UFO's, and said I would never believe it until I see it. I first heard a helicopter flying through the sky, which drew my attention to the sky. It seemed to be a police chopper because it was flying kind of low with a spot light beaming towards the earth. I looked up and noticed a blue light. It was kind of far so couldn't see any structure or if there was more than one blue light. What made me think it was a UFO was when I suddenly saw a red light speeding towards the blue one. The blue one picked up the pace but it wasn't fast enough against the red lit ship which passed it. Then saw the blue one come behind the red one which again they both accelerated and then disappeared behind the trees. I could no longer see them anymore. I know for fact it wasn't planes because they don't act like that. They also don't chase each other, curve around and suddenly accelerate. I do now believe in UFO's.

A silver Sphere was above me while I was laying on my back look up in a clear blue sky about 1000-1500 ft its the only shining thing is the blue sky it move toward my direction then move farther up then I saw a second one similar to the left of it. Then I lost sight of the second one and the UFO move to the right and its still there. Lost track of UFO.

Observed circular gold-like object, approximately 4-6 times larger than Venus, (the evening planet). Object appeared in the NE sky, traveling in a slightly irregular pattern at progressively lower altitude, diminishing. Then, 4 smaller objects of similar shape appeared, 2 traveling parallel headed east and 2 traveling parallel west on the same plane of sight. Both pairs of objects accelerated away from where the larger circle of light diminished. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was sitting on my front porch when i looked to the sky and saw two red lights in the sky. The lights were solid and not blinking at all. As i took a closer look i could see the shape of a disc behind the lights. The object seemed to hover over the tree line a few miles wway. The object hovered there for about 2 minutes. Then I went inside to show my brother. My brother came out than immediately ran inside to grab a camera as he was inside the object started to move closer towards my house, then the red lights went off and I could still see the faint shape of the disc. I was unable to keep track of the disc and I couldnt see where it went. We were also unable to get a picture in time. This is not the first time I've seen weird objects in the sky. I actually reported another incident that happened right down the road from my house. This object was different than the other ones I've seen before.

Just saw two strange things in the sky overhead, about 3 minutes apart. What looked like a large ball of light streaked across the sky quickly, then slowed down, then turned slightly and went out over the ocean straight out from the shoreline. The light seemed to be oscillating or pulsating. I watched till it was almost out of sight and as I turned away, what looked, at first, to be a similar craft, followed it in almost the same manner except it paused twice and the light seemed to turn in two directions as if looking for the first one, then turned again and headed in the same direction as the first one. When the second craft turned, I could see a dark shape behind or around the light and I had the impression that it may have been a chopper from the way it moved. That was something that popped into my head as I thought I glimpsed a non-flashing red light as it turned. There were fireworks being set off several blocks away, but far enough that I should have been able to hear something from the aircraft. There were no flashing lights and no sound that I could hear. I thought the first one was a plane in trouble because it came from the direction of the airport, but it was just a big ball of light–it didn’t move or sound like an airplane. It was just weird. I see and hear planes overhead all the time, but none looked or behaved like these.

It was just before dusk and my mother noticed 3 black objects in the sky. At first she thought they were birds when she realized they weren't she called me to come take a look. We watched them for about ten minutes until they were out of sight. There was one in the front that appeared to be higher then the other two. Two of them were traveling at the same height and were in a straight line with one in the front and the other one behind it. They seem to stay the same distance apart for the entire time we saw them. They were traveling northwest. The objects made no sound and had no lights on them. We live in the South Hills of Allegheny county outside Pittsburgh. I was able to get a picture of the three objects.
